Tiivistelmä

In view of current global challenges such as education and digital transformation there is a need to create
high-quality technology-enhanced physical and psychosocial learning environments (LEs) as it critically impacts
on teachers and students of all abilities. It is vital that experts in education, architecture, and technology work
together to portray the multilayer aspects that compose a LE, increasing both the quality of teaching-learning
processes and wellbeing. In particular, there is international interest in the Finnish LE design (LED) well known
for its innovative design and transformational education approach and Finnish LE experts are keen to broaden
their understanding of LED practices in different contexts. However, existing international university networks
and cooperation for sharing multidisciplinary expertise on the field of LED are scarce. Particularly, funding
opportunities for joint projects between North European and Latin American countries are almost nonexistent in this topic.
Therefore, our project aims at facilitating a multidisciplinary and international perspective on LE design
through staff mobility, and joint teaching activities that involve the development of hybrid seminars and open
online course materials and videos. Collaboration between the three higher education institutes, Aalto
University, University of Jyväskylä and Universidad ORT Uruguay, also includes documenting good practices in
LE design in participant countries. Therefore, the project brings together the three universities´ competencies
in education, architecture, and technology to create an environment for high-quality teaching and learning.
Ultimately, the project aims at piloting new forms of cooperation between universities and provides
opportunities for staff from distant universities to work together on imagining the future of LE design
considering cultural, economic, and social particularities of the two countries.
The project is expected to start in Sept. 2023 and end in Sept. 2025. Project activities include short teaching
visits, development of course materials and hybrid seminar series, and documentation of good practice in LE
design in participating countries. The developed course materials and documents will be employed in each of
the universities´ courses with the intention to share it with a broader international audience. This will be
complemented with dissemination events in the two participating countries.
The anticipated project results include: new open online course materials including a recorded
multidisciplinary seminar series on learning environment design; shared good practices in LED; increased
contact between teachers, researchers, and administrative staff of the three universities; connection with LED
experts beyond the project participants; and, high quality instructional materials including videos to be openly
shared to internationally deepen the knowhow on the LED.
